TAKING BACK CONTROL

Look at life as a runner, running a long distance race, or a marathon or a cross-country race. The mind of a cross-country runner is focused on finishing that race, as the runner needs to pace himself and control the speed in which he travels. The runner needs self-discipline in all that he does in order to finish that race. To defeat the out of control spirit, you need self-discipline. The saying goes like this, life race is not for the swift, but for who could endure to the end. So please do not let this out of control spirit defeat you.

Life is not a sprint race, or a hop skip and a jump. Life is like the seasons. Each season gives you a different occurrence. The winter would give you snow and cold. The summer would give you sun and rain. The spring gives you a mild and a gentle breeze, while the fall deals mostly with the leaves on the trees. There is one thing that all the seasons have in common; it is guaranteed to come around repeatedly until the end of time. That is how life is. Therefore, don’t get bent out of shape about a little obstacle that occurred in your life. Out of control is only for a time. Your season will come around again. When it does, remember this, life is what you make it.
